Help Save Children in Pakistan

Save the Children has been working in Pakistan for more than 30 years, helping children and families in the aftermath of disasters and living in crisis. In 2009-2010, conflict forced more than 2 million people from their homes. Save the Children was on the ground distributing lifesaving and life-sustaining supplies including shelter kits, food, education and medical aid.

Our Work for Children in Pakistan

Pakistan is no stranger to struggles: an earthquake in 2005. Monsoon flooding in 2010. Decades-long conflict. Save the Children has been on the ground to help – keeping children healthy, educated and safe.

In 2010, the people of Pakistan were hit by unrelenting monsoon floods. Within a matter of days, nearly one-fifth of the country was submerged. Save the Children responded immediately, sending relief workers to Pakistan to help children and families recover from their devastating loss. Longer term, we helped parents and families living in the flood zone to revive their own communities and implemented programs to provide shelter, medical aid, education, nutrition and other humanitarian relief to the victims of the flood. We worked with local authorities to rebuild and revitalize the schools damaged by floods – rebuilding 102 schools and establishing 181 temporary learning centers.
